- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.

These are estimated ranges, not quotes. Compiled from public installed-cost data for California and adjusted for how Santa Fe Springs is built. No contractor is bound by them, and nobody can price a roof they have not stood on.
| Covering | Per square | Typical whole roof | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $650 – $950 | $13,000 – $28,500 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $700 | $10,500 – $21,000 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $875 – $1,300 | $17,500 – $39,000 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,100 | $24,000 – $63,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,400 – $2,500 | $28,000 – $75,000 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- How much decking turns out to be soft once the covering is stripped
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
Locally
Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.
Treat this as the shape of the market, not a price. The only real number comes from somebody who has been on your roof.
These are estimates, not quotes. They are compiled from national installed ranges adjusted for California costs and for how Santa Fe Springs is built. No contractor is bound by them.
Questions about price
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Usually not, unless the quote says so. If they are near the end of their life, replacing them during the re-roof is meaningfully cheaper than doing it later, because the crew and the staging are already there.
How much deposit is normal?
A third at most, and never the full amount. Pay the balance when the job is finished and you have walked it. Some states cap the deposit by law.
What warranty should I expect?
Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the material for its rated life, but only if it was installed to their specification. The contractor covers workmanship, commonly five to ten years, and only for as long as they are trading.
